Reality TV has morphed from radio game show and amateur talent competition to hidden camera stunt show to dating show to documentary-style series. The genre now encompasses unscripted dramas, makeover sagas, celebrity exposés, lifestyle-change shows, dating shows, talent extravaganzas and just about any kind of competition you can think of (and a few that you probably can't). - How Stuff Works

By definition, RTV is essentially unscripted programming that doesn't employ actors and focuses on footage of real events or situations. Unlike scripted shows like sitcoms, dramas and news, RTV does not rely on writers and actors, and much of the show is run by producers and editors. Because of this, it can be a very affordable programming option from a production standpoint.
